was pregnant with my first child i did a lot of research just on how to create you know the best environment for the kid and i realized that they -- and -- and actually i was shocked to find that there are toxic chemicals in so many products, in pretty much every product in and around my household and even in baby diapers and wipes and shampoos and laundry detergent, i mean everything has toxic chemicals in it so i am like there has got a be a better way and there has been to be a way to limit or at least ensure these chemicals are proven safe. because right now there is no safety. there -- there -- there is no method of testing and so i joined safer chemicals healthy families and -- and they are forth -- pushing forth this

legislation to make sure that -- that we have a healthy environment for our families. >> and that is where andy gets involved. we have your website up the moment, again safe for families -- >> -- great -- >> --.org, what is the organization trying to do osama obviously. >> sure, it is them as well as a number of businesses and trying to set up a system that most people think we have now whereby the government really would be reviewing the health and safety of these chemicals before they get into the products that you bring into your home and would restrib restrict the ones that cause health problems, a number of chemicals have been linked to that yet they get to be used in a way that really -- no one is minding the store and we need to change that. so it is the legislation and in the environment committee in the senate right now. >> now, this is a mom driven

organization. how do moms get involved? >> sure. the website is a great place, safer chemicals.org. there is a place to sign up as an individual. we also have a facebook page that has been active, a number of moms have used that in the last couple of months to organize stroller events outside the offices of their elected officials so that is another place to get involved on facebook, safer chemicals. >> is there such thing as the most shocking example of what we are talking about right now? >> i think all examples are most shocking. i mean, this -- even trace amounts of a chemical that could cause cancer to your child or any sort of health problem for your child is just unacceptable and it -- it should just be a right of ours as americans to have safe environments for our children. >> and i know a lot of fingers get pointed at china but it always floors us when we are doing news stories about things imported from china in

particular that have all these terrible chemicals in them and apparently are legal over there so they can just come into our country. >> well, it is also because they are legal here because there are no limitations on these chemicals, and they don't have to be proven yet. so that is why we need to stand up and make sure that we get this legislation pushed through so that we do have limitations and things can't just come into this country that are manufactured somewhere else that are not safe. >> good point. >> a good example, the china issue was the katrina trailers. people might remember they put folks who survived it in these trailers that were leeching formaldehyde, the product was made in china but they made a sever product safer product for european because they have strengther rules and a dirtier product for us so we are acting

like a third world country with these chemicals. >> i never heard about that one, jessica, our audience won't let us off the hook if you have a project we can talk about very briefly. >> actually i am launching a product line for children. it is called the honest company, coming out in january. i have been working on it for two and a half years, a completely non-toxic line of products, because i was frustrated. >> yeah, very -- >> -- created something, yeah. >> -- everything certainly tied -- >> -- yeah -- >> -- spending time with us and opening our eyes quite a bit. good luck in your campaign. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> bye-bye. >> we are going to take a break and come right back. again the website is chemical -- sever chemicals health erfamilies.org, not.com. we will go to the traffic center and also tim's first warning weather right after th,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
